missing our parents

This may sound super funny but Ty and I are both BIG TIME home bodies. We have both lived away before and made it out ok but we are finding ourselves missing our parents and being 'home'. When we were dating, and even though many people thought it was so weird, we would not hang out every single night after school. And, unlike pretty much everyone else we know, we liked to be home in our own beds by 11pm instead of staying out until 2 or 3. For some reason, we just both like to do our own thing and like to be at our own homes with our parents.

We are also both the youngest children in our families and I think that makes a difference because we have been raised to take care of our parents. Whenever they need something, Ty and I are the ones they call. The scary thing is, I think we like it. :) When we lived in Logan it was pretty much the same as when we both lived at home with them. Now that we live in Salt Lake, it is a little harder. We laugh about the funny technological problems our parents have (and about how even when we try to explain it to them over the phone, they still get mad at us) and about how when they leave town now, we aren't around to water their plants or take care of their dog - and it just puts them out so much that they have to find someone to do it.
But as this past weekend passed and my parents went to Denver and they needed a dog sitter (I offered but the dog needs "room to run") I find that I miss being able to help them out at a moments notice. I think that what gets us the most is that they are surviving without our help and it's sad that they end up not needing us as much as we thought they did. :)

Have you ever seen the Toyota Venza commercials? If you haven't, you have got to look them up. Click here to check one out. We laugh so hard at all of these commercials each time they come on because they show how much children (even the grown up ones) need their parents - Ty and I included.

Most of all, we just LOVE our parents. And at the end of the day, they have given us everything we have ever had and we owe them everything so we like to be able to help them out when we can.

Parents are the best and we miss ours.

love,

cam & ty



september update

Well, we have lived in Salt Lake City for about 2 months now and we are loving it. Ty started school in August and is doing very well. He has gotten used to his schedule and spends most of his time at school or at home studying. I love working in Park City/Deer Valley. I nanny a super cute little boy Monday-Friday in the mornings and work at The St. Regis Resort Thursday-Sunday. It is busy and fun and surprisingly enough I am enjoying the commute.

Since we have been here we have had a few visitors-which we love! Tyler's nieces stayed with us for a weekend and we had so much fun with them. A couple weeks later, our nephew Skyler got married and we had his brother from Denver and his brother from Logan and his wife and daughter stay with us. It was a full house but we had a fun time! The wedding was beautiful and we are so happy for Skyler and London to start their life together.

We have also been able to make it up to Logan a few times for some family time and the first Aggie Football Game!



Yesterday was Tyler's 25th birthday! He celebrated with 2 rounds of golf with his brothers and dad, and Aggie Football game (which they pulled through and won!), and some cake and ice cream after the game with our family and friends. We love spending time with our family and friends.

All is going well here. We are looking forward to the fall in Salt Lake City.

Love
